Thank you for setting this up. Hope I can figure it out.

I'm a little slow at this and seeking confirmation if I did it right.
1. I clicked the link
2. Selected the app
3. Installed it and created a login
4. Selected the SteelersFury
5. Then selected the 14 teams I think will win straight up
6. Then entered a total score for MNF

My question is where do you put the score for the Steelers game?

I think the Steelers will win 27 to Jets 16.

Here We Go Steelers!
Secure NHALS early and then go deep into the PLAYOFFS. :D :D :D

I have never gambled on sports. Just the occasional lottery ticket. :) But I have a question for any gamblers on the SteelerFury site.

When referring to the spread, if a team is +3 does that mean they are favored to win by at least 3 points and the other team is a -3 they are they favored to lose by 3 points or more?

I'm looking at the Washington vs Green Bay game. Washington is a +3 and Green Bay is -3.

Most the analysts are picking GB. I think GB will win too bc they are the home team and better.

Btw, there are some really good pickers here. I thought I did ok 11/14 but I'm near the bottom. Lol
This NFL pick'em contest is fun.

Thanks for setting this up.

+3 is the underdog
-3 is the favorite

The home team is almost always given a 3 point advantage

So, theoretically, if both teams are perceived as equal, the home team would be -3

Hopefully that helps

Also, from what it looks like, there are only 5 people that made picks week one

Thanks. That helps. I counted 15 people making picks. But I'm not sure who they are or if they are part of the SteelerFury group.

Maybe I’m in the wrong group

I just checked and only 3 people made picks

Will, it looks like there are two separate groups. (You are listed in the one I am picking in, but didn’t make any picks either week)

Can you merge the two groups?

Clearly, there is more than one group set up-

Here is the link to the pool that I'm in- (you are in it as well) but only 5 people active (this is not a big deal, by any means- just funny)

Yep I lost control of that one and had trouble adding people which is why we have the new one. Link in the OP.

Done


Any way to import the picks from the “wrong” pool?

These 4th week picks aren't so obvious. Several games can go either way because they are so evenly matched.

Hopefully we all bounce back from last week's picks.

This week(6) seems like it might be straight forward. Lots of David vs. Goliath match ups. But as the saying goes, any given Sunday.


Ofc, the Steelers are going to win. :D
